Jill Tracy's "The Secret Music of Lily Dale"

Jill Tracy’s “The Secret Music of Lily Dale”

So I let October come and go without really posting anything to the Cult of the Great Pumpkin site this year – I was focused on the #FrightFall2022 daily drawing challenge, which just didn’t leave time for much else this year. I hope everybody had a super spooky October! As we begin the two month grind that is “The Holiday Season”, Jill Tracy has stepped up to make it just a little more…

Halloween at High Noon Presents PlasmaTronic

October wouldn’t be October without a new release from Halloween at High Noon, and 2021’s release “PlasmaTronic” just hit Bandcamp (other services to follow). For the last few years, each HAHN release had moved towards gloomy noise and atmospheric ambience; “PlasmaTronic”, however, is firmly beat-driven, and has more in common with earlier HAHN releases. Listen for yourself at…

Cult of the Great Pumpkin Halloween 2021 Megamix: Listen at http://svi.link/greatpumpkin2021 Chad here – last year I built a massive Spotify Halloween playlist.

Howdy – this is Chad posting. I discovered the Boo Dudes on Bandcamp.com a few years ago and have consistently gotten a kick out of their blend of music and (often blistering) humor.

As Ghastly…
